Stand your ground law, what's wrong with it?

nothing, you should not be forced from your home or the ground that you are standing at the threat of deadly force. There are some states, where you cant shoot somebody doing a home invasion. You are required by law too run away (somehow) and avoid contact (which isnt possible). You should have the right to blow anybody away that is about to deal deadly harm to yourself or any nearby persons.

As I've said before,the law is open for abuse.I'm at an intersection and some panhandler wants to wipe my windshield for a tip.I tired of these bums holding out their hand for a service i didn't want,so I shot the guy and tell the police the guy threaten me with his wiper when I didn't give him a tip.You see it everyday in traffic. The guy makes all kind of body motions that some people might intrepid as a threat when he isn't tipped. So does this justify shooting him?I know this is a far fetch example,but some nut might not think so.Florida need to go back to the castle law. It's about the same thing,but applies more to your home and your auto under certain conditions.

Liberals think it's wrong because it outlaws their liberal utopia.

When I lived in Massachusetts 30 years ago, it was a liberal utopia. The law was, if an intruder breaks down the front door of your house, you were required to run out the back door. You were not permitted to defend your home. The intruder had more right to be in your home than you did.

You were not permitted to even pick up a gun unless you had taken every available opportunity to flee from the intruder first, and circumstances trapped you in the room where the gun was. You could not choose to enter the room with the gun you had an equal opportunity to enter a different room that did not have a gun in it.

You were required to avoid any opportunity to use any kind of force against the intruder.

It was the liberal's dream come true. Criminals could run rampant in your house, and you were required to flee from your home in the middle of the night, in freezing weather, undressed, and it wasn't clear if you would be permitted to grab your children on the way out without being put in jail for it. That would be left up to the judge to decide.

"Stand Your Ground" specifically prohibits this kind of a liberal utopia.

So liberals don't like it.

Now they have created this whole hysteria to fight against it.

Don't be fooled. They want their utopia back.

1.It grants the use of the word threat to a individual who has no knowledge of what is a threat under the law. 2. It grants the use of deadly force to an inexperienced individual more than it does to a professional Police Officer and grants that person immunity before the deed. 3. The Police department uses deadly force and an inquiry is made with more justification toward integrity to the department than is made in cases involving stand your ground cases.

The law itself isn't all that problematic. It's police and public interpretation of the law which makes it dangerous. For instance, the law clearly states that you can only use this defense if someone is threatening your dwelling, residence, or vehicle with deadly force. NONE of those were true in the Zimmerman case, but police still allowed Zimmerman to use this as a defense. Moreover, in nearly all cases, you have two people....one dead and one holding the gun. Ultimately, the murderer can always claim stand your ground...without anyone alive to dispute his claims.

It makes it too easy to claim "self defense" because it grants a presumption of self defense in too many cases.

Without the law, you have to affirmatively prove self defense. With it, you just say "self defense" and magically you're innocent, as long as you meet the other requirements of the law.

It's like saying, "If you want to kill someone, just do it in your own house or car and you can get away with it."

Because there is no way you can justify this killing. The kid was not armed and did not provoke an attack. Zimmerman did by trying to play billy bad *** cop , got his *** kicked , and like a pussy he pulled the trigger.

It basically means whoever wins the fight will get off scot-free because they stood their ground against the other. So basically duels are legal, baiting a fight to murder someone is legal, and vigilante justice is legal. It's barbaric.

It only applies to whites. See: John McNiel

It's still murder one of a minority stands his ground
